    The Syslog Connector is located under the Connectors tab.

  2. Log in to the Sentinel Control Center.

  3. Select Event Source Management > Live View, then select Tools > Import plugin.

  4. Select Import Collector Script or Connector plugin package file (.zip) option, then click Next.

  5. Browse to and select the .zip file you just downloaded, then click Next.

    The 6r7 version is bundled with Identity Manager 4.5. You must use the latest plug-ins available from the Sentinel Plug-ins Web site.

You can configure the xdas.properties file to enable the Syslog Connector to receive messages sent from Identity Manager. These events are then processed by the Identity Manager Collector.
